Im not entirely sure, I was almost certain I had a successive play file. But I dont see any options that allow me to carry data over. And I dont have the original NG so I gotta do things the hard way it seems..._________________

I just got the game too. I have Hard unlocked. I have a succesive play save for Normal, Hard, and Very Hard for Ninja Gaiden. I don'thave a completed save of HP2 although I've beaten it a few times. I have a save on phase 4.

keylay- i know for a fact i don't have any successive files, but i think i have a save file from the last save point of the game on very hard. can i load that save file up, beat evil murai, and have master ninja unlocked? i can't wait to get home._________________"I have a black belt in Street Fighter 2"

I forgot where I read it (maybe IGN) but it said having a Ninja Gaiden HP1 save point gave you Hard and having a HP2 save point gives you Very Hard. However, there copy wasn't the final one so some things were changed.

Playing on Hard starts out like HP1 (you also get nunchaku). And he still has his blue ninja costume from Ninja Gaiden. I remember someone saying they took it out. Not sure if it's selectable but it probably will be.

xbox live = not me. all i have is a bunch of save files from very hard. can you load up any of your saves you had previously? thanks for answering these questions so quickly._________________"I have a black belt in Street Fighter 2"

i just called tecmo and they said the save files from the original ninja gaiden *should* be compatible with black. the guy didn't know for sure about the whole successive file thing, he was more impressed that i finished the game on very hard! he said worst case scenarion is that i could load up my last save file from very hard, beat the end, and master ninja mode should be available. man, 5 o'clock can not get here quick enough._________________"I have a black belt in Street Fighter 2"

so i gotta go through HARD, then VERY HARD, then MASTER will be available? sh!t who has time for that when there's missions to beat. is the mission mode unlocked from the get go?_________________"I have a black belt in Street Fighter 2"
